"One or Two Super Class Players"

This week, Arsene Wenger has announced that he intends to sign 'One or two super class players'. This is almost a treat for Arsenal fans (no disrespect to the kids), as Mr Wenger is renowned for buying young players for the future, so a couple of class, established players is a pleasant surprise.

A few players spring to mind, due to lots of speculation from the press. One big target seems to be Real Madrid's Brazilian winger, Robinho (above). The former Santos star hasn't settled in Spain but has shown what he is capable of, and impressed in England, in the friendly between Brazil and Argentina. His quick, magic feet rivals that of Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo, and is blessed with tremendous speed. He also has an eye for goal, so, should he join The Gunners he would greatly benefit Arsene Wenger's side. Other targets include Julio Baptista, who is currently on loan at Arsenal, Franck Ribery, the French winger who has been heavily linked with The Gunners, due to his friendship with skipper, Thierry Henry, Igor Akinfeev, a young Russian goalkeeper who impressed against The Gunners in the Champions League for CSKA Moscow and finally highly-rated Spanish striker, Fernando Torres. But the latter is very unlikely to join, as Arsenal can not compete with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid due to his estimated value of £30m.

As for me, I would like to see us bring in a goalkeeper, Akinfeev perhaps, as well as a goalscoring winger, either Ribery or Robinho. Maybe a 'goal poacher' as well, someone to finish off great moves the simple way, like a younger Ruud Van Nistelrooy, for example. Players in this mould include Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, the scorer of the first ever goal at Emirates Stadium, Miroslav Klose, the lethal German striker and maybe even Reading's Leroy Lita, a young, promising, English striker who can score all types of goals. Plus, he would be available for a reasonable price. But this is my view, not Le Boss' and we'll just have to wait but don't forget, Arsene knows...
